heat pot with olive oil or any kind of oil.

add cup of rice once oil is hot

cook rice till you see a slight browning.

add onion to rice and cook for about 2 minutes.

add minced garlic and stir frequently for about a minute since it will burn easily.

add diced tomato and cook for about another 2 minutes. By this time rice should have a good browning to it

add chicken broth and water, or just water. chicken broth gives it a wonderful flavor though.

add 1/2 a small can of tomato sauce.

add your 2 tablespoons of knor and stir

leave cooking, covered for about 10-15 minutes or until you can see rice is fully cooked. add water if needed or knor if missing flavor.

This is absolutely not a dry dish. should be only slightly soupy and should have a light red color to it.

if available you can add cooked chicken to rice as it cooks.

I come from Mexican and Spanish heritage and living in South TX we can easily aquire knor, but not sure if others can. should be found in the ethnic section.
